Lossiemouth Silversands is a sandy beach interspersed with rocks, offering fine views out over the Moray Firth and towards Spey Bay. The beach is situated near several notable landmarks, including the rocks of Little Skerries and Halliman Skerries, which can be seen offshore at low tide. Behind the beach, beyond the dunes, lies a caravan park, two golf courses, and the towers of Gordonstoun School, where Prince Charles was educated.
The beach is popular with surfers, horse riders, and sailing craft. The Moray Firth is a good place to spot dolphins, as well as many birds and seals that frequent this area. The proximity of the Gulf Stream ensures that this area of Scotland has some of the mildest and driest weather in the whole of the United Kingdom. Visitors can enjoy good walking country, with plenty of trails and footpaths passing close by, including the Moray Coast Trail.
A short walk in a westerly direction will bring visitors to the Covesea Lighthouse, which was completed in 1846 and manned until 1984. Today, pre-arranged guided tours of the lighthouse can be arranged for some Saturday mornings from Easter until the end of October. The nearby town of Lossiemouth has a museum, a marina, and a good range of cafes, restaurants, and places to stay. For aircraft lovers, the proximity of RAF Lossiemouth ensures that the frequent roar of powerful aircraft is a regular feature along this part of the beautiful Moray coast. Food and facilities are also available to the east in Branderburgh.
Lossiemouth Silversands is adjacent to the Moray Coast Trail.
